As I've mentioned in my post about featured post widgets, the Blogger platform doesn't always give us the options of the latest and greatest widgets and page elements. I've always been jealous of the "Related Posts" widgets that include thumbnails in the link.
The thumbnails are especially relevant to food bloggers because visually seeing the food is one of the most important ways that readers are enticed. Thankfully I've finally found a widget that allows Blogger users to do this.

While perusing the great Cupcake Project, I ran across a link to this great widget. It's made by LinkWithin and it's super easy to install.
The benefit of such a widget is that it encourages your readers to read other recipes or posts on your blog therefore increasing your pageviews. Give it a try and let me know whether it made a difference!
